The document discusses editing techniques used in Premiere Pro to enhance a video project. Transparent video effects were used to juxtapose reality and dream scenes. Black and white was used to resemble old films and represent the main character's memories of past relationships. Fast-paced editing in a montage scene created a cross-cut that synchronized with the beats in the music. A range of transition effects like cross dissolves were used when the tempo slowed to make cuts between scenes smoother.
